Sounds like a hefty amount of bolt stick. I was having the same problem with my E-Tac for several months. Try the carrier with a line, and I get a leak down the barrel. Try the carrier with a dot and I don't get a leak, but have a hard time firing and get a LOT of first-shot-drop-off and bolt stick.

My solution was to throw away the carrier o-ring and start with a fresh one. Properly tuned, that fixed everything in one fell swoop.

As far as the quad o-ring goes, PM me your address. I've got a few spares and I'll send you a couple.

EDIT: Just realized I attempted to diagnose the problem but offered no solutions. You can check to see if it's bolt stick by letting the gun sit gassed up for awhile. Then try to shoot it, and if it seems stuck without firing, degas and then gas it up again (easy to do with your CP ASA). If that seems to jar the thing loose, and allows you to shoot, then that's a good sign it's bolt stick.

First, tune the level 10 bolt with the same carrier o-ring. (You probably already know this, but someone else searching this problem might not, so I'll go through it anyway). Choose the largest carrier you can use without getting a leak down the barrel. Be sure to lubricate the carrier o-ring with a drop of oil when checking for leaks. Don't use any shims in the powertube. If you get stuck with one carrier being too large (leaks), and the next size smaller giving you bolt stick fits, then just toss the carrier o-ring and start fresh with a new one (they're relatively cheap, and you should keep several on hand at all times anyway).
